i had one piston that completely took off the skirt with two big chunks in the lower pan. I had 6 pistons and 4 rods hitting the crank. Im sure judging by the pic above hes not far off from what my bottom end was.

I'm sure the pin boss is hitting the counterweight, I could send you a pic of what to expect the rod to look like.

Sure, but you will have to wait till tomorrow. I don't have any pics and it's a paperweight on my toolbox at work

Yeah im 99% sure its skirt peices in my oil pan i found and its what was causing the "tinging" sound you could hear with the oil cap off. Damn if those steel pistons didnt cost as much as my whole motor build, id buy them. And it is 3/16 of an inch from piston to block deck lol.

Yeah bryce, id like to see. Give me something to compare too :D

All the rest were no where near as bad as cyl 5. They either had a very slight bend or "looked" straight.

Oh yeah, forgot to show that both my cam and crank pins were bent

Crank has very little light marked areas (i wouldnt even call them scratches). The piston never phased it which was nice to see
